Usage: Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International

Pali Commentaries, Atthakatha, of the Theravada school of Buddhism, translated into English (only free ebooks included, no pirated version; most of them are easily available online)

Because translations of Sub-Commentaries are extremely rare I include them inside this list and mark them as "B" in their number code. "A" is for Commentary if needed for distinguishment. 00 is for Vinaya Pitaka, 01 is Digha Nikaya, 02 is Majjhima Nikaya, 03 is for Samyutta Nikaya, 04 is for Anguttara Nikaya, 05 is for Khuddaka Nikaya and second number is for each book out of the 18 as decided by the Sixth Buddhist Council, 06 is for Abhidhamma, and 07 is for other Pali books numbered according to their position in Chattha Sangayana Tipitaka 4.0 Software.
